Was there a practice of buying TV dramas in domestic TV stations in the 80s?

Yes.

But that's all cabbage prices.

Of course, the domestic economic situation at this time is like that, there is no money, there is no money, everything is in vain. No matter how good the TV series is, if it is expensive, the domestic TV station will definitely not buy it, and it cannot afford it.

If you want to sell, you can make a little profit more or less, then the seller can only sell at a lower price.

At this time, many imported Hong Kong dramas have been broadcast in China, including wireless ATV, but the price is really, about the same as giving it away for nothing.

is far from comparable to the tens of millions of drama prices in later generations.

Before Qiao Feng's crossing, the total number of TV series filmed in China in a year reached 15,000 to more than 20,000 episodes.

At that time, the number of TV episodes broadcast by TV stations was only about 10,000 episodes. In other words, there are 5,000 to more than 10,000 episodes of TV series that cannot be broadcast, and they can only eat ashes in the warehouse.

For the producer, the risk of filming is extremely high, and if you are not careful, it will be a huge loss.

But why is there so much capital entering the field of TV series production one after another?

Of course, because of the interests.

At that time, the annual volume of the TV drama market was at least 10 billion yuan, and with the rise of online platforms, this cake was still increasing rapidly year by year.

And the price of high-profile good dramas and dramas has also risen sky-high, even hitting a new high.

However, although the production of TV dramas is in excess of demand compared to the broadcast demand of TV stations, and it is far from oversupply, the demand for TV dramas by TV stations is still enthusiastic.

Because, after all, the number of episodes is also there, and although there are more TV series filmed, there are not too many really good ones.

This is naturally one of the reasons why those promising dramas can sell hundreds of thousands, millions, or even more for a single episode.

But that was thirty years later.

Thirty years ago, now, there is very little demand for TV dramas from domestic TV stations.

CCTV won't talk about it because of the national nature, in CCTV, no matter who produced the TV series, don't want to sell it at too high a price.

Although CCTV is rich, but people are the boss of the industry, forced there, whether it is now or in the future, it is impossible to buy dramas at a high price.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about the ratings, why should people buy any good dramas at a high price.

The only ones who can buy dramas at a high price in China are provincial TV stations.

Like the county and municipal TV stations below, because of the small number of viewers and the lack of attention, they naturally don't earn much from advertising fees, and naturally they can't take out too much money to buy dramas.

Generally speaking, satellite TV stations can buy an episode of a TV series at a price of more than 100,000 yuan or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, while local TV stations can bid 50,000 yuan per episode, which is already very high. TV dramas sold to local stations are generally 10,000 yuan per episode, and many are thousands of yuan per episode.

This is still 30 years, and now, county and city TV stations don't have to think about it.

And even if there is, it won't spend money to buy TV series.

As far as Qiao Feng's understanding of domestic TV stations at all levels at this time, such as county and municipal TV stations (if any), the source of the TV series they broadcast is basically applied for from the higher-level department.

At this time, there is no copyright awareness compared to 30 years later.

The provincial satellite TV broadcasts a TV series, and then it may directly hand over the tape to the next level of local station to broadcast, and then go down to the next level to broadcast.

Paying for it?

At this time, there was no such concept at all.

Everyone is a country, what is yours and mine, yours is mine, at most you broadcast it first, and then I got it and I broadcast it again.

Therefore, CCTV and county and municipal TV stations don't have to think about it at all.

If you can sell it for money, you can really only find provincial satellite TV.

However, the demand for TV dramas on provincial satellite TV in the 80s was far less than that of CCTV.

CCTV has little demand for TV dramas, and provincial TV stations have even less demand for TV dramas.

No way, this is the current situation of today's domestic TV port.

Who made the domestic economy not work now, and the development of entertainment lagged even more.

The first TV station in China, which is now CCTV, was established on May 1, 1958, when the name was not CCTV, but Beiping TV.

That's right, it's Peking TV, which is the predecessor of CCTV.

This year, 67 countries around the world have launched television stations.

In other words, the time for the establishment of domestic TV stations can only rank 68th in so many countries in the world.

On June 15 of the same year, a bite of vegetable cake, the first TV series in Chinese mainland was launched.

Peking TV broadcast live in the studio on black and white television. At that time, there were only a few hundred families who watched or could watch this TV series, because the number of TV sets in the country at that time was only a few hundred.

In the following eight years, Beiping TV broadcast a total of 90 TV dramas, and from a national perspective, in the past eight years, a total of about 200 live TV dramas were produced.

Eight years, about 200 films.

The number of episodes is not as good as the number of episodes produced by the two TV stations in Hong Kong, a small land, in a few years.

One city against one country.

Such a disparity.

It was not until 73 that Peking TV began to try color television, and for political reasons, only two dramas "The Daughter of a Senior Commune Official" and "Sacred Duty" were broadcast nationwide in those years.

It was not until 78 that the domestic television industry began to recover, and in the same year, Beiping TV was officially renamed CCTV.

This is just the history of domestic TV dramas.

As for the TV series, it was even later than 81 years before the enemy camp made history in 18 years.

And the director of this TV series is the little old man Wang Fulin.This series has a total of 9 episodes, only about 2,000 shots, and more than 100 scenes.

This is still CCTV's, and it's even worse if you talk about provincial satellite TV.

In the case of Hedong Guard, which was very early in the opening of the station, the equipment of the television station when it was first built was only a black-and-white television monitor, except for an industrial camera produced in Czechoslovakia and a 50-watt transmitter assembled by itself.

The programs broadcast are mainly movies and pictures, and they are only broadcast twice a month, each time for about 2 hours.

Twice a month, each time for two hours, this was the first provincial television station to be established in that year.

It can be said that at that time, there was basically no time for provincial satellite TV to broadcast TV series.

And now in 89, there is not much time left for TV series.

Not to mention now, in Qiao Feng's memory, even if the original time and space were in the past nine years, there was not much time for ordinary people to watch TV.

How many are there?

Very little, very little.
